Ashley from Lil Blue Boo shares a how-to on her blog showing how she revamped a pair of plain white shorts by adding some lace trim to the hems and pockets. It’s such a simple addition but it really ups the cute factor of the shorts! Get the tute.[photo from Lil Blue Boo]

Amazing Candle Tips
Tip 1 - Drawer
Is a chest or desk drawer sticking at your home or office? Pull it out and run a candle along the runners. Put the drawer back and it will run smoothly.
Tip 2 - Pincushion
Fat candles make useful pincushions. The wax also helps the pins and needles glide smoothly through the fabric and also discourages rust.
Tip 3 - Labels
Use a white candle to run over the labels on a parcel that have been written in felt pen or ink. No rain or snow or sleet will smudge and obscure the writing.

Anyone interested in a DIY Project
What about a Pottery Barn-inspired project?
But for super cheap (like Dollar-store cheap) and SO easy (like ANYONE could do it)?
I (Shannon) wrote a step-by-step tutorial for this project this week, using dollar store canvases and NO special tools (as in, no vinyl numbers or Silhouette) for EverythingMom.com.

Women over 50!
In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 50. |
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all.
Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night & ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 50 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She goes and does something she wants to do,
& it's usually more interesting.
Women over 50 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.
Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it...
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved.
They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age.
You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 50.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest..
They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk or if you are acting like one.
You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 50 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal.
For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 50,
there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself
with some 22-year old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say,
'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Here's an update for you.
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why?
Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

White Washed Palette Coffee Table
JULY 22, 2011
It looks like Ana White fans are getting in on all this palette love too! This one was submitted to her site by Make It Lovely. You know I think it would be even neater if you went down to your local glass company and bought a custom cut sheet to put on top. If you were even more ambitious you could get glass drill bits and screw it into the wood but I don't think I'd have the courage. Perhaps you could use plexiglass?
This one is also from Ana White and it is made of palettes but I think you might need a little more skill as it is produced from one of her FREE table plans. But in all, the entire table was made for only $2!
